Hey everyone! If you like this video...check out my most recent trip up in Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. It's one of the most magnificent places on earth and we have it all to ourselves! Here is the link. Enjoy! ruclips.net/video/hpU8F2BVlcU/видео.htmlsi=48ZfiJWUv8vzH_dy
This half hour was so much fun. The landscapes are stunning,the camaraderie is uplifting. I am so jealous, Catherine. Sad that I can only experience these locations vicariously and joyful that I can experience them through your lens. Thank you again for sharing a bit of your life with me. What you do really matters.
So beautiful Cat! Every time I see one of your hiking videos I’m so grateful you’re posting this scenery for everyone to enjoy. I’m also very grateful these wild areas were preserved for posterity by our forward thinking ancestors. No doubt you guys would be hiking past hotels and condos if that hadn’t happened. ❤👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I loved all the lakes each one has its own beauty. Of course the mountain views are as you say stunning. Thank you you and your fellow hikers for taking us with you..
Gorgeous indeed! The only thing I would like is a fire but thankfully it didn’t rain. The scenery is just spectacular! Nothing like the fresh clean air in the mountains!!
I think I said WOW! about 30 times this episode! 😯🌲🌲 Mind blowing beauty around every turn on the trail. Thank you Catherine! High Five! 🙌❤ Have a safe week! 🙏
Hope you had plenty of those orange, shake 'em up to wake 'em up hot packs. Come in different sizes. Would definitely toss a couple in the foot of my sleeping bag! You were right about the beauty! Thank you Cat!👍👍P.S. Your friends were delightful and loved the last comment of your friend looking forward to a burger with bacon. 😉😉😉
Easter Sierras are beautiful! The morning light backlighting on the surrounding hills/mountains is only surpassed by the super-reflective water of the lakes. Thanks Cat for your magnificent photographic summary of the trip, you are awesome! This is a wonderful welcome to the Fall season.😊
Majestic!!! God is THE greatest artist for sure. Cat, this was fun!! The scenery of course took the center stage position but the group joking around & obvious love of the nature you all walked through made all fun & exciting. I bought my first round of AG1, so as of today started that & with hughe determination will work on taking 60 pounds off my 59 year old body. My husband & I are outdoor peeps & I grew up at the lakes of the Midwest. Love hiking, yaking (kayaking) & triking (our Harley 3 wheeler motorcycle in the mountains). God is good & we are ready to get healthier & pull on the hiking boots again. Thanks for the inspiration Cat!
One of the best and most stunningly beautiful High Sierra loops, then add to that some great backpacking friends to share in the adventure.... Doesn't get much better!!!
Very stunning!! What I really like though that puts this altogether is the music you pick. The music is so tranquil and allows us to absorb these magnificent views you are seeing. Good job Cat! 🙂
Catherine, so glad to see you got back out to what I consider the most beautiful shorter not so difficult loop in the Sierra. Definitely the most bang for your buck! Great job!
This is one of those times when words are not enough! I very much enjoy your backpacking adventures because you always take us to the majesty of our beautiful country.
Another 5 star video! 🌟 So very special to take us along on your trips. Beauty seen is remarkable. Beauty seen and shared is beyond description. My heart sings every time you post one. Thank you so very much for sharing 😊.
Your good friend, Terry, is sad she missed it (Kim 😢). What a beautiful walk in the woods with beautiful people. But, glad I could at least get out to Yosemite then celebrate with you all, enjoying a burger, too. 😉
As I sit on my heating pad, nursing a torn upper hamstring, I’m so thankful to you for bringing such astounding beauty right into my home. I know it’s not easy leaving the cosy warmth of your sleeping bag before dawn in order to capture the glow of first light on those amazing peaks. But I also know the anticipation and excitement that motivates you to do so. Your amazing and well thought out cinematography never disappoints. Also, I really enjoyed your inclusion of the comaradarie with your friends at camp. Blessings to you Catherine!
Another gorgeous hike Cat. You have taken me to so many beautiful places and I truly appreciate you. Thanks for the great video’s. Keep posting. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
Another wonderful video with spectacular views. I feel so peaceful after watching them. Enjoyed seeing you spending time with some great friends enjoying the outdoors. Brought a smile to my face!
Wow! That was super stunning! And it looked like you were all having such fun too, especially at the end with your cheeseburger chant. Hiker hunger is real! As always, thanks for sharing!
What a great trip with good friends! Had to laugh as I was betting "cheese burgers" were on everyone's minds lol! The forest looks healthy - hopefully the pine beetle threat is fading. Thanks for sharing.
Another brilliant movie. Unbelievable, what a beautiful area. Thank you for sharing this with us. Many are no longer able to do these hikes. Because of your beautiful images we can enjoy a bit of what a beautiful nature there is. 😊😊
Love the video!! I hiked some of the same trails back in the 80's when I was a teen but we stayed at Lake Laura and Lake Altha. I chuckled when you mentioned the food backpackers imagine eating as they near the trail's end. I guessed cheeseburger as that was always my first choice after a hike and apparently it is a thing...
Wow Catherine! Dare I say, one of your best video's ever! I've lived in the Eastern Sierra area for 30 plus years, and I am embarrassed to say I've never hiked to any of these places. Backpacking just wasn't something I did. I must change that! Stunning video!
Absolutely beautiful trip and excellent videography. I summited Mt. Ritter in 2014 and after watching this video I want to do it again. For the RUclipsrs who negatively commented about videos like this giving up ‘secret’ locations, nobody owns the wilderness. God created these majestic mountains for His glory and our enjoyment.
God didn't create crap! Religion does nothing but drag humanity down into the mud. It causes more hate and violence and murder than any other belief system on the planet. Grow up!
Cat, spellbound. Amazing video. I have added this trip to my bucket list and I definitely plan on taking my backpacking family on this trail within the next two years. It shall be done! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to the outdoors and the backpacking community. YOU are also one of our national treasures!!

Words cannot describe the beauty of the High Sierras.
"Sierra". Spanish for "mountain range". And it's one range. Unlike the Rockies.
Yes most people mistakenly say Sierras when it’s Sierra
Yes very beautiful country too and watching enjoying too 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😎❤ beautiful music too AWESOME VIDEO Catherine ❤
one word....'Incredible", California is such a beautiful state, great video, thanks...
Fun video and another amazing video. Thank you. Blessings
Take it from a couple of “old timers”. Take nothing for granted! God bless.
Breathtakingly beautiful
😎👀🤫💭 Good Friends' Good times' Thanks Cat ! 👍👍👍👍👋✌
I just loved Martina's comment in the end that the trip was breath taking. Backpacking around 10,000 Ft is definitely breath taking!😘
Spectacular! Thank You Catherine 😊
wow! Yes, I have heard of the thousand island lake area. I need to go there!!
It's has beautiful as the California dream
Thanks for your great presentation ..beautiful scenery..great photography

Thank you Cat!👍👍P.S. Your friends were delightful and loved the last comment of your friend looking forward to a burger with bacon. 😉😉😉

SPECTACULAR scenery! Your video title is spot on. There cannot be a more beautiful place on this planet .
Majestic! Sometimes all you need is the thought of a good burger to motivate! 🤣 Oh yeah...bacon, bacon, bacon! Lol
😂❤😂
Stunning views. Great videography. Thank you for another beautiful video. Take care.
Easter Sierras are beautiful! The morning light backlighting on the surrounding hills/mountains is only surpassed by the super-reflective water of the lakes. Thanks Cat for your magnificent photographic summary of the trip, you are awesome! This is a wonderful welcome to the Fall season.😊
Thank you so much Ken. Seeing those lake reflections in person was amazing!
What incredibly stunning views at those lakes! Amazing. ❤️
The Eastern Sierra (Mammoth and the Mono Lake area) always calls me home. It is a special place.
WOW OH MY GOSH What stunning views. Thank you for taking me along. I would no have seen that beautiful area with my bad knees. Thank you so much 💓
Absolutely gorgeous and restful…for me. 😃Thank you.
👍very nice ,thanks!
Love the Sierra’s! Beautiful videography…as always!
Wow!! More amazing scenery!! As always, thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for letting us share your loop hike. Lovely. You have three great friends there.
I definitely do! Thank you GK!
Hike hunger! Yes! What beautiful scenery! I would love to hike there one day!
Stunning. Cheeseburger and make mine a double, absolutely.
Love the stick-over-the-map routine. High resolution visuals are breathtaking!
Majestic!!! God is THE greatest artist for sure.
Cat, this was fun!! The scenery of course took the center stage position but the group joking around & obvious love of the nature you all walked through made all fun & exciting.

Stunning country, Catherine! Thanks.
One of the best and most stunningly beautiful High Sierra loops, then add to that some great backpacking friends to share in the adventure.... Doesn't get much better!!!
I watch all your videos, but I LOVE the backpacking videos. So beautiful!! And cold!
Glad you like them! Thank you!
Very pretty, have not been there yet, wow…
Very stunning!! What I really like though that puts this altogether is the music you pick. The music is so tranquil and allows us to absorb these magnificent views you are seeing. Good job Cat! 🙂
Perfect music. Stunning views/majestic! Thank you Catherine for taking us along for this trip!
such jaw-dropping sights!!
I love going along with you on your adventures! BEAUTIFUL!
Love the cute little pika! Thank you for taking us along on another spectacular adventure!
Has to be up there as one of your best photography videos Catherine 🏴
Thanks for the break. Dealing with basement flooding, probability of cancer in my daughter...but your video took me away. Thank you!
That dusting of snow became the icing on the cake.
That's exactly what we said! :)
Wow just beautiful! Thank you for taking us along.
🥾❤️⛰❤️🥾 OMG what a stunning recap of our adventure ….. I just LOVE Sierras….. Cant wait to be back ….. the blooper at the very end 🤪🤣🙌….LOL😂😂😂😂
Glad you liked it! ❤️❤️ It was an awesome adventure!
Double cheese, with BACON!
😂😂😂😂
Catherine, so glad to see you got back out to what I consider the most beautiful shorter not so difficult loop in the Sierra. Definitely the most bang for your buck! Great job!
OMG! I can’t tell you how many times I paused this video to just stare at the spectacular scenery! Beyond stunning! Thank you
This is one of those times when words are not enough! I very much enjoy your backpacking adventures because you always take us to the majesty of our beautiful country.

Beautiful 🤩 ❤
Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Every bit as beautiful as the Enchantment Lakes in the Cascades.
Beautifully captured & well worth the wait...thank you Cat.🤠
Your good friend, Terry, is sad she missed it (Kim 😢). What a beautiful walk in the woods with beautiful people. But, glad I could at least get out to Yosemite then celebrate with you all, enjoying a burger, too. 😉
You were definitely missed!
So glad to see this area from the lens of a true master of her craft. Many thanks Cat you are the best.
Excellent trip!
The eastern sierras are beyond beautiful. Thank you for sharing your views.
Martina seems like a hiking machine!
😂😂😂
That was just a scenic overload.
As I sit on my heating pad, nursing a torn upper hamstring, I’m so thankful to you for bringing such astounding beauty right into my home.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! Thanks so much!
I vote for Mineral King as the most beautiful part of California. But the Eastern Sierra is a close second! 🙂
Another gorgeous hike Cat. You have taken me to so many beautiful places and I truly appreciate you. Thanks for the great video’s. Keep posting. Your friend in Pennsylvania. Bob
The most beautiful video of the most beautiful place in California! Amazing as usual, Catherine.
Your ability to match your amazingly beautiful photography with the music is in my opinion the best on RUclips. Thank you
Stunning. The lighting is so pretty in the fall. Thank you for suffering through the cold to bring it to us
Such a wonderful video to watch. Couldn't agree more...indeed on of the most beautiful places in CA. 👍
I was amazed on how much water was on that trail! Thanks for sharing..........
So beautiful Catherine🌟So happy you enjoyed this with good friends👍
Another wonderful video with spectacular views. I feel so peaceful after watching them. Enjoyed seeing you spending time with some great friends enjoying the outdoors. Brought a smile to my face!

Excellent trip to a most beautiful place! I love Thousand Island Lake!!!

Gorgeous places 😍, I am sure that I will make it there in time. Thank you Catherine 😊
Wow Catherine! Dare I say, one of your best video's ever! I've lived in the Eastern Sierra area for 30 plus years, and I am embarrassed to say I've never hiked to any of these places. Backpacking just wasn't something I did. I must change that! Stunning video!
I shared your video on my Facebook page. People need to see your work!
I hope you try backpacking. Thank you so much for sharing! I appreciate that Mark! 🙏❤️
Beautiful video. You really did a great job capturing the glory of this area!
Spectacular. Some of my favorite pictures from the JMT are from Garnet Lake.
This was breathtaking for me to watch! Actually I took some deep relaxing breaths while watching. Thanks 😊🧚🌈
All I can say is WOW !! I’m lost for words on how beautiful and well put together your videos are. Thanks! Also I like how you show the map.
Absolutely beautiful trip and excellent videography. I summited Mt. Ritter in 2014 and after watching this video I want to do it again. For the RUclipsrs who negatively commented about videos like this giving up ‘secret’ locations, nobody owns the wilderness. God created these majestic mountains for His glory and our enjoyment.
God didn't create crap! Religion does nothing but drag humanity down into the mud. It causes more hate and violence and murder than any other belief system on the planet. Grow up!
that was incredible cat. Insanely beautiful place, thanks for taking us along!
Thank you Andrew. Hope all is great!
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for the gentle guidance and beautiful soundtrack.
Cat, spellbound. Amazing video. I have added this trip to my bucket list and I definitely plan on taking my backpacking family on this trail within the next two years. It shall be done! Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to the outdoors and the backpacking community. YOU are also one of our national treasures!!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with us! Breathtaking scenery ❤
Such incredible scenery! You do a fantastic job filming it. Love your backpacking videos the best. ❤❤
